Chapter 249
The next morning, Sasha woke up to find Williams already dressed and about to leave. "What are you doing?" she asked in a sleepy voice.
Williams, buttoning his shirt, looked at her. "I'm leaving. I need to report to work."
Sasha's eyes cleared, and she sat up, almost annoyed. "Why so soon? I thought you were staying longer."
Williams sighed and turned around, gesturing with his hands for her to understand. "I need to be at work. It's very important."
She frowned, and he could see her displeasure written all over her face. He went to the bed and sat beside her, holding her by the shoulders. "Listen, the task at hand is really important. We need to carry it out immediately. I need you to fly into Emerald Falls before tomorrow."
Sasha's expression softened slightly. "Before tomorrow?"
Williams nodded. "Yes. Once everything is suc
Chapter 250One of Sasha's men burst into the room, his face pale and his breathing labored, as he found the two bodies. "Boss, what happened?" he gasped.Sasha, who was seated on the bed, looked up with an icy stare. "What took you so long?"“I'm sorry, Boss. I went to deliver the package to Boris.”There was a brief pause and then he continued. "Scarface," he stammered, pointing to the lifeless body sprawled on the floor. "It was Scarface. Was it him?"Sasha's expression darkened. "Dispose of the body," she commanded coldly. "And call for an emergency meeting with the lieutenants. We need to address this immediately."The man, still in shock, nodded quickly. "Yes, boss. Right away." He hesitated, then blurted out, "How did Scarface know your location? This place was supposed to be secure."Sasha stood up, her eyes blazing wi
Chapter 251That evening, Sasha booked a flight and left for Emerald Falls. When she landed, she picked up her phone and called Williams."Hey, Williams, I've arrived," she said. "Come pick me up."Williams agreed, "Alright, give me about 30 minutes. I'll be there soon."True to his word, within 30 minutes, Williams arrived at the airport. He was dressed casually, with a face mask to conceal his identity. He spotted Sasha and walked up to her."Sasha," he greeted warmly, hugging her. "Good to see you."She hugged him back tightly. "It's good to see you too, Williams. Thanks for coming to get me.""Of course," he replied, taking her bag. "Let's get you settled in."They made their way to his car, and Williams drove them to Sky Suite Hotel. Once there, he went to the front desk and booked a room for Sasha."Here we are," he said, handing her the room key. "Room 203. I made sure it's one of the best."Sasha smiled appreciatively. "Thank you, Williams. You've done well."She went closer t
Chapter 252As they returned to Sasha's hotel room, Williams began to outline the details of the operation. "Here's everything you need to know about the job," he started, his voice serious.Sasha sat on the bed, fully awake now and listening intently. "Go on," she said."The target is in Sky Care Hospital. The same person who owns Sky Suite Hotel owns the hospital, so it should be an easy pass for you since you've stayed here for a night and have seen their security pattern. I’ve provided you with a map of the building and the image of the target," Williams said, handing her a folded paper and a colorful photograph of Liam.Sasha took the image from him and placed it on the table, unfolded the map and studied it. "Alright. What’s the plan?" she asked."First, you need to enter the hospital and stalk a nurse until she goes to the restroom. Once she’s in there, knock her out and immediately put on her uniform. Then, head down to the ward where Liam Carter is being held. Once inside, be
Chapter 253Inside the car, Sasha turned to Williams, her expression curious. "How did you know that was the ward? You reacted as if you were sure about it."Williams hesitated for a moment, not wanting to involve Alisha or reveal too much. "My instincts told me," he replied, trying to sound confident.Sasha raised an eyebrow, clearly not convinced. "Instincts? What if your instincts are wrong and it's not the ward?""Trust me," Williams insisted. "It's definitely the ward. Just trust me on this."Sasha went silent for a moment, her eyes studying his face. "I saw someone walk into that ward, and you reacted. You tried to cover your face. Who is that girl?"Williams felt a wave of anxiety but kept his composure. "It's nothing. Just focus on the task at hand."Sasha wasn't buying it. "Tell me everything you know so I can do my job properly. If there's someone involved, I need to know."Williams sighed, realizing he needed to say something to satisfy her curiosity. "Alright, the girl mig
Chapter 254Meanwhile, Jaxon and Milly had been on vacation for what felt like forever.He was all over her, completely engrossed in their time together, forgetting everything else, including his fiancée, Alisha.He frequently asked his father for money, and the last time he asked, his father had sternly told him to come back home or else he’d stop funding his lavish lifestyle. But Jaxon had other plans.After learning from Williams that his father had another family elsewhere, Jaxon was determined to use that information against him, unaware that it was a seed planted by Williams for his own sinister purposes.As they lounged on the beach, soaking up the sun, Jaxon’s mind was racing with his schemes. Milly noticed his distraction and nudged him.“What’s on your mind?” she asked, smiling.Jaxon glanced at her, his expression serious. “We’re going back to Emerald Falls soon,” he said.“How soon?” She asked, anxious.“On the morrow.” Jaxon replied and turned to face her.Milly's face fe
Chapter 255It was already late when their flight landed, so Jaxon decided they should book a space at Sky Suite and spend the night. They walked to the receptionist and were booking a room when Williams saw them and approached, with Sasha by his side."Jaxon! Milly!" Williams called out, smiling broadly as he walked over.Jaxon turned, a bit surprised but happy to see him. "Williams! What a surprise!" He shook hands with Williams, who then hugged Milly warmly."Hey, Williams," Milly said, smiling. "Fancy meeting you here.""This is Sasha," Williams said, introducing the woman beside him. "She's a very good friend of mine." He turned to Sasha and said, “And these are my two colleagues at work, Jaxon Sterling and Milly Sienna.”Sasha smiled and extended her hand. "Nice to meet you both.""Nice to meet you too, Sasha
Chapter 256The evening progressed with laughter and an ever-growing sense of camaraderie. Sasha lit up a cigarette, offering one to Jaxon and Milly. Jaxon eagerly took one, while Milly hesitated for a moment before accepting. Meanwhile, Williams took a sip of his drink, declining the cigarette with a polite shake of his head."I don't smoke," Williams explained. "Never have."Sasha blew a stream of smoke into the air, looking at Williams with a playful smirk. "You don't know what you're missing."Jaxon, now feeling the effects of both the alcohol and the cigarette, leaned back in his chair and grinned. "So, Sasha, you seem like a fun person. Have you ever... you know, had a wild night with more than one person?"Milly giggled, clearly feeling the buzz as well. "Jaxon! You're so naughty!"Sasha laughed, taking another drag from her cigarette. "Oh, I've had my
Chapter 257The next morning, Milly and Jaxon got dressed and prepared to go to EMC. Milly was anxious about her absence from work, planning to lie about being unwell. Jaxon, on the other hand, was nonchalant, relying on his father's influence as a board member.As they drove to the company, Milly glanced at Jaxon. "Are you sure this is a good idea?" she asked, her voice tinged with worry.Jaxon shrugged. "Relax, Milly. No one's going to fire you. Besides, my father will handle everything."They arrived at EMC, and Jaxon kissed Milly on the cheek. "I'll go see my father. You go sign in and explain your absence.""Don't forget the money you promised me." Milly reminded him.Jaxon responded quickly: "Right, I'll get it from my dad right away. Meet me downstairs when you're done."Milly nodded, feeling a knot in her stomach. "Okay. Good luck with your dad."Jaxon smirked. "I don't need luck. Just charm."They parted ways, Jaxon heading to his father's office while Milly went to the admin
